LITTLE ROGERS-
The most brilliant social event of
the winter, and the first to occur at
the beginning ot the Lenten season,
in Muncy, was the marriage of Miss
Mabel Rebecca Rogers, the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H.
Rogers, of this place, to Mr. Harry
Joseph Little, son of Hon. Robert
R. Little, of Bloomsburg.
The wedding took place at high
noon to-day (Wednesday) in the Bap
tist Church, before a large audience,
invited guests, the ceremony being
performed by the pastor, the Rev. D.
L. Woods. The church was taste
fully trimmed in green and white,
which added to the brilliancy of the
affair. At the appointed time, to the
strains of a beautiful wedding march,
played by Miss Caroline Lyon, the
wedding party entered in the follow
ing order :
Ushers, Ralph Datesman, of West
Milton ; Rogers Edwards, William
Marsh and Slifer Walls, of I.ewisburg;
bridesmaids, Misses Julia Ebert, Julia
Beeber, of Williamsport ; Margaret
Stine, of Lewisburg, and Luna Bailey,
of Wellsboro ; maid of honor, Miss
Lou Welliver, of Danville, followed
by the flower girls Margaret Rogers,
cousin ot the bride, and Katharine
Little, sister of the groom. The
party marched up one aisle, while in
the other the groom, attended by his
best man, Mr. Clarence Rogers,
brother of the bride, came up to the
altar and met the bride, who was
given to the groom by her father.
The minister then in a few solemn
words, as used in the ceremony of the
Baptist Church, united the young and
happy couple as man and wife. Miss
Lyon rendered strains of music dur
ing the whole cermony. It was a
pretty wedding.
The bride was gowned in white
crepe de chene over white silk (en
train) and wore a veil. The maid of
honor and bridesmaids looked charm
ing in white organdy, and carried
bouquets ot flowers. The groom, at
tendant and ushers, were dressed in
the conventional black.
After the ceremony a reception was
held at the home of the bride, South
Main street, to which the wedding
party, relatives and friends, were in
vited. The happy couple received a large
number of pretty, costly and useful
prssents.
Mr. and Mrs. Little left this after
noon on a wedding trip, and will
spend their honeymoon in the eastern
cities. They will make their present
home in Mexico, where Mr. Little has
mining interests. Muncy Democrat.
Death of John J. Wagonseller.
John J. Wagonseller died of Bright's
disease at his home on East Main
street, this town, Friday evening after
an illhess of several monUi3. He
' was taken with the malady in the
early part of November and though
the nature of the attack was in a ma
lignant form, his wife, immediate rela
tives and friends were hopeful lor
recovery. The disease in fact did
yield to medical treatment and to
such an extent that he was permitted
to resume his position on the road as
traveling salesman. He was again
compelled to take his bed about two
weeks ago an J for four days he lin
gered between life and death, the end
apparently, being imminent at any
moment. Much to the gratification
of those about him he rallied, but
alas, only temporarily and as the mid
night hour approached he sank to the
sleep that knows no waking and his
spirit took its flight to the unknown
Mr. Wagonseller, since early life,
has been a taithful member of the
Methodist Episcopal church. He
leaves a wife, three sisters and one
brother. Two of his sisters, Mrs.
Gearhart and Mrs. L. T. Sharpless,
reside here.

were taken to his former home in

John R. Townsend Elected President ot Council
Charles K. Taylor School Director.
o
Tuesday's election was not attended with any very great interest, save
for the office of School Director. All three candidates for this position did
considerable hustling, and it was a matter of conjecture, among even our ex
pert political prognosticators, as to which two would land the victory. There
was very little trading done, and a count of the ballot revealed the fact that
two straight votes was the rule. The fight, it was thought existed between
Kleim and Taylor, but instead it was between Brown and Kleim, as Taylor
polled forty-two more votes than Brown. ' The size of Taylor's vote is a big
surprise to even his friends.
For President of Council J. R. Townsend had a walk over. He carried
every ward and has a majority over W. O. Holmes of 258. The vote of the
